Is this brew as twisted and bitter as Queen Grimhilde? Or Cruella de Ville? Or Scar? Enough Disney references.* Harry and Megan may be a modern day real-life example of twisted and bitter but as they say in the army, no sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.
One of the reasons I like craft brewers is I think they are pretty down to earth fun loving bunch, leastways the ones I have met. Say what you’ll do and do what you say is a good way to do business. Harviestoun out of Alva Scotland is no exception, one of a few recent Scottish imports imbibed in. Their description on the bottle is a pretty accurate summation of this brew, which just so happened to win the 2007 World Beer Awards World’s Best Ale!
Faust Mouse in the House
It seems like the Harviestoun crew are having a devil of a time with that Faust* mouse in their brew house. Is the rascally rodent playing hell with their hops? Luckily no tilted kilt here, balls you say! It’s a tasty tartan with a twist.
A clear light golden sinner’s pour, with a thin halo tam topper. A nice malt hop combo on the nose, interesting, intriguing, inviting, and in my glass. First taste is a malt body with an ale bitter with a touch of citrus. A unique and tasty combination that works well. Refreshing but not smooth, the bitters and citrus keep you on your toes. A just right citrus twist to go with the bonny ale bitters! Twisted & Bitter, I get it.
